I shouldn't be either smelly nor have any dark color. If it is the case maybe you should check for a vaginal infection!

"Although most textbook authors stated that vaginal fluids were either odorless, minimally odorless, or did not have an unpleasant odor,[12,13,15-17] 1 book mentioned the possibility that the normal vaginal odor might be unpleasant.[18]"

No. It should NOT smell, if it does and it smell fishy then you should call the doc. Don't be scared, it may not neccesarily be an STD, it could be a yeast infection or BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS. Bacterial Vaginosis is a common thing women get like a yesat infection and some cream will clear it right up. If it is an STD, the sooner you see the doc,the better. Just give your doc a call and if you are young, call Planned Parenthood.

Some women smell like they have an armpit down there. Its due to diet. Cut down on your meat and dairy. Thats why asian chicks tend to not be stinky, its all the veggies.

Just be sure that you've properly showered and you probably wont have that problem. Another reason could be a viral infection. Have you been having sex. Bad smells indicate disease.

It is normal to have an "aroma" - but if it makes you gag you probably have issues that need to be checked out. You shouldn't be able to smell it without dipping... if you're just standing there naked and smell yourself, you definitely need to see a gyno.

If it's an unpleasant odor, you could have an infection. See a doctor.
